People react to crises in different ways. Saturday evening’s rally for Trayvon Martin, which turned into a familiar, predictable, and unfortunate opportunity for destruction-minded anarchists to break windows and spray-paint graffiti on local businesses downtown, was one such reaction. But on Sunday, even as one group of protesters stood in the center of the intersection of 14th and Broadway and burned an American flag, members of Oakland’s arts and culture community had different reactions, which involved making space for healing, creating art, and finding inspiration out of tragedy.
